Introducing Libra: “I Balance”
September 24 – October 23
Libra is the 7th sign of the Zodiac and its symbol (or glyph) is the balancing scales. The Zodiac Sign of the Scales brings equilibrium to the cosmos and harmony to nature.
In Western astrology, Libra is considered to be a “masculine”, positive and extrovert sign, along with the other five even-numbered signs of the Zodiac: Aries, Gemini, Leo, Sagittarius and Aquarius.
Libra can be seen by the naked eye, but is a relatively dim constellation that sits between Virgo and Scorpio. It is the only constellation that does not depict a living being.

The Story of Libra the Scales
The Constellation of Libra
The constellation of Libra represents the scales of justice. The story of how this constellation came to be is greatly debated.
Libra was originally believed to be the claws of the Crab of Scorpio, but was given its first accolades as an individual constellation during ancient Roman times. Unlike the other constellations, there is no particular story or myth that tells the tale of how Libra made it into the stars.
Some believe that Libra is so entwined with Virgo, the Goddess of Justice, that they originate from the same source. Others believe that the Romans named Libra to represent Julius Caesar’s Scales of Justice.
Still others believe that Libra originated somehow with the story of Hades and Persephone.
As the ruler of the underworld, Hades falls in love with Persephone’s beauty and forces her to become queen of his dark domain. Persephone’s mother, Demeter, was the Goddess of Agriculture. While mourning the loss of her daughter, she neglected her growing duties, causing a drought on the earth.
Zeus, Demeter’s brother, is angered by this and demands that Hades release Persephone. A compromise is reached and it is decided that she will split her time between the Underworld and the Upperworld.
Could the scales represent the balance of Persephone’s time between two worlds?
Or is Libra simply a representation of the scales of justice and world harmony? This is a subject that will always be debated.
Venus – The Ruling Planet of Libra
Libra is ruled by the planet Venus, which is the giver of harmony, balance and beauty.

The Element & Quality of Libra
Libra is an Air Sign
The Zodiac is divided into four Elements: Earth, Air, Fire and Water, which represent the four basic modes of being. Signs that share an Element are generally regarded to be harmonious with each other.
The Element of Libra is “Air”, which it shares, and is compatible, with Gemini and Aquarius.
The Element of Air symbolizes man’s intellect and his advanced ability to communicate and reason. It also emphasizes the social aspect of human nature.
The Quality of Libra is “Cardinal”
The signs of the Zodiac are also divided into Qualities: Cardinal, Fixed and Mutable and signs that share a Quality are generally regarded to be hostile to each other.
The Quality determines the basic temperament of an individual. Those that fall within a certain Quality will tend to have dominant characteristics that remain with them throughout their lifetime.
The four Qualities view the world in different ways and reacts to stimuli differently so that their reactions may be contradictory to each other.
The Cardinal, or moveable, Quality is known to be a dynamic force. The original Latin word “cardinal” translates to “hinge”.
It is used to describe the Quality of each of the starsigns that mark the transition into a new temperate season. This means that these signs are known for taking action and having strong leadership skills.
On the other hand, Cardinal signs tend to be stubborn and demanding, as they are confident that their way is the right way.
Cancer, Aries, and Capricorn are also Cardinal signs and are therefore less likely to be compatible with Libra.
